There is only two settings you can mess with on the 32/36 weber carbs.  The fuel mix and the idle setting!  It took many years to get mine dialed in 100%.  The one thing about the webers is they can be stubborn.  I had to adjust mine in the spring and in the fall!  The difference in the weather affected it!  But once I got it dialed in it was good!  Another thing is to use lock tight on the setting screws.  Mine would back out of adjustment due to vibrations!  And I had to keep spare springs for the throttle return spring!  Excellent power response and fuel economy over the factory carb I had on my nissan!  I got up to 19-25 mpg.  And I loved hitting the secondaries! 

Why don't ya get a new base gasket for it!  Like I said earlier, mine was really thick, and I just cinched it down tight!  Never had any leaks!  Go to weber's website, there is alot of tech pages on them!

*edit*  Just thought about this after I posted!

This might help!  If I was to low on idle I got a rough idle!
